Property and Cancellation Policies:
Please carefully read our cancellation policy. To ensure fair and consistent treatment of all guests our staff have are instructed to follow this cancellation policy without exception. To prevent any misunderstanding, it is important to note that this cancellation policy only applies to guests that book directly with us via https://dresserhospitalitygroup.com or https://dresserhospitality.cloudbeds.com. . If you made the choice to make your reservations through a third-party website (there is hundreds of them out there), you are the customer/guest of that company or website and any issues with your reservations must be managed through them. Unfortunately, when a reservation comes in through a third-party online travel website, we are extremely limited in our options and ability to assist you.    For guests who booked directly with us, if you booked a “Non-Refundable” Rate or booked withing 48 hours of arrival you are responsible for the full cost of room and tax for the length of the original reservation.   All other reservations booked directly with us are fully refundable if cancelled 48 hours or more prior to the 3 p.m. scheduled check in time.    Reservations that cancel more than 24 hours prior to the 3 p.m. scheduled check in time but less than 48 hours before will be charged for the first night’s room and tax as a cancellation penalty and any other pre-payments will be processed as a refund to the card used for payment.   If the guest arrives and decides to leave early the total price of the reservation will be non-refundable.   In case of a “no-show,” the total price of the reservation will be charged and is non- refundable.  

GENERAL POLICIES & PROCEDURES
The following General Policies and Procedures are applicable to all nightly lodging properties (Hotel, Motel, Inn, Bed & Breakfast, vacation rental or similar) owned and/or operated by Dresser Hospitality Group, our affiliates, or subsidiaries. As part of the reservation process, you will confirm that you have read, understand, accept, and agree to follow these General Policies & Procedures. By making a reservation you are affirmatively accepting and agreeing to our General Policies and Procedures as set forth herein. These General Policies & Procedures are subject to revision, with or without prior notice, with the most current, and legally binding copy, updated and publicly displayed at https://dresserhospitalitygroup.com.  In the event one or more of these General Policies and Procedures are invalidated by a court of competent authority and venue, all other provisions are valid and remain in full force and effect.  

Name on Reservation
All reservations must be in the name of the adult that will be checking into the room. It is important that the name on the reservation be identical to the name on your valid government issued photo identification, as well as the name embossed on your credit/debit card that will  pay for the room. In addition to working closely with local law enforcement to ensure our properties are safe for guests, visitors and staff, our state of the art online digital registration and check in system uses artificial intelligence to securely authenticate reservations. These features help protect the public while decreasing the likelihood of someone using your identity or credit card information to fraudulently obtain lodging accommodations. To avoid issues during the online registration and check-in process it is important that the person responsible for the reservation have a valid government issued photo identification and credit/debit card that matches the name on the reservation.  

Can I Pay for Someone Else?
We believe in paying it forward and will do our best to help you help someone else. We understand situations may arise where you would like to pay for a family member or employee to stay with us. As stated previously the name on the reservations must match the identification and credit/debit card information.    The easiest way to pay for another person is to take the advertised nightly rate for each night of their intended stay, add the 9% lodging tax and transfer the money to them so they can make the reservations using their debit/credit card. The second option is to make a reservation at the desired property, through our website https://dresserhospitalitygroup.com, listing the person staying in the room as the primary guest and listing yourself as the second guest on the reservation (even if you are not staying). When you check out online it will ask if you have a promo code enter the word GIFT and apply the promo to the reservation. This promo code will guarantee you the lowest possible rate by applying a 10% discount. They system will also designate the reservation as “Pre-Paid, Non-Refundable” in the system. The person staying in the room must show a valid government issued photo ID that matches the name on the reservation. Everyone is required to swipe or insert a valid debit or credit card with the same name embossed on it to be digitally captured in the system in the event of damages or other incidental charges. To remain PCI compliant, and protect your payment information, we are not able to accept written credit card authorization forms and ask that all reservations be made securely through our website as they system masks the information to keep your transaction secure and PCI compliant.  

Maximum Occupancy Limits:
When booking, keep maximum occupancy rules in mind and do not exceed two people max for rooms with a single bed (Queen or King), three people max for rooms with a single bed and sleeper sofa, and four people max for rooms with two beds.
